@ALostInquirer not yet. Since it’s a one day sale, I only went through the list and added them to my library today - haven’t read them yet. But, as a generalization, I have loved other books by Sara Ivy Hill and Elin Wyn, and I’m likely to read their books in this list first.

@hendric @romancebooks @bookstodon @herhandsmyhands note — Somerville was also one of the first English speakers to drop Newtonian physics and use modern mathematics (ie “the calculus”) instead.

@hendric @romancebooks @bookstodon @herhandsmyhands it’s a fictional historical romance, so it’s science as understood in 1831: mostly astronomy, physics, & the first concepts of Babbage’s analytical engine. But primarily it’s a fictionalized account of Mary Somerville translating the Marquis de Laplace’s “Mécanique Céleste” as “The Mechanism of the Heavens” -if she’d been gay, single, & 23yo. (She was 51yo, married twice, & a mother by 1831.) #historyofscience

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I’m actually something interesting that is shadow-banned on the big Amaz and I’m so looking forward to sharing about it!

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I’m still reading Executive Orders by Tom Clancy - the audiobook is a monster 56 hrs long. And a book I’m not sure how to describe yet - One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston. The blurb is a bit inadequate for this one, and I’m only 30% in.

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks
Executive Orders by Tom Clancy, which is also very uncomfortable in the current world, for different reasons than the Henry book!

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks

Vanderbilt by Anderson Cooper (biography sort of)
and
Silent Vows by Jill Ramsower (romance)

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks oh I just finished this and will post about it soon!
